Rules! **UDPATE 7/12/10**

alright, here are the rules that need to be read in order for us all to get along. If you have a problem with them, pm staff.

RESPECT EVERYONE

here on x1x8x9x9x you MUST respect everyone from new members to staff. If you dont you'll be warned.

THIS SITE IS PG-13!

Minor cussing is allowed, and if your character may like to do mature things, do not rp it. You may fade to black, and that is it! ALSO: PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMIN IF YOU PLAN ON GOING FURTHER, BECAUSE THE ADMIN MUST KNOW, AND WILL BE THE ULTIMATE DECIDER ON IF THE CHARACTER IS PREGNANT OR NOT!

CBOX RULES:

• No Spamming
  
• No Drama PLEASE FOLLOW THIS RULE!
  
• No Issues
  
• There is no current ban on character banter, along with the IC box, but it may return if post count goes down!
  

INVOLVING CHARACTERS:

• Only eight characters per person. Extra character slots will be given to contest winners
  
• If you have won extra character slots, you may only win up to THREE character slots. That's equal to eleven characters, eight original and three contest.

[/u]
[/li][li] NO MARY SUES OR GARY SUES! THERE ARE TESTS TO MAKE SURE YOUR CHARACTER IS NOT A MARY/GARY SUE!
[/li][li] Do not godmod, but if you have permission to do something simple, like grab someone and pull them back, from the other RPer, then YOU MAY GOD MOD
[/li][li] No powerplaying. 'nuff said.
[/li][/ul]

CANONS-

If you would like a canon character, please send your audition to one of the staff members. If you want your character to have some type of relation to a canon, like being a family member, PLEASE ask whoever is playing that canon if it's allowed, or if said canon isn't being played by anyone, check with the admin!

LEADERS-

If there is a leader spot open, and you have been here for a long time, you MAY be asked to either make a leader, or make one of your current characters a leader. If you think you'll be a good leader in character and a great staff member out of character, PM the admin. If you want to have a second in command character, that can be down in character, or the leader of that borough may request your character to be a second in command.

POSTING:

The word limit is 150 WORDS, and we have a word count so you know. If you are having trouble writing a post, try these tips:

Please write 150+ words. Because it's not fair to other members if they write a good three paragraphs, and you only reply with oen not so well written paragraph. The staff will tell you when your breaking that rule, so please, write 150 words. ALSO: Please, use correct spelling, capitalization and punctuation! We shouldn't see this-
"hey" *shakes mans hand* "i'm bob. its niec to meet you"

We should be seeing this-
"Hey!" Bob said, shaking the man's hand with a smile on his face, "I'm Bob, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, TELL THE STAFF!

If you are having issues with someone on the site, please tell either me or any of the staff members, and we will be happy to help you. Do not bring your issue to the cbox, and if you are not part of the situation, don't get into it because this just causes more problems for the admin and staff.

SPECIAL EVENTS:

Every month we have a special event, and each even generally lasts the whole month. After that, the new event pops up, and it can be anything.

THREADS:

You may create a thread, or post in one of the premade ones. There is no preference, since some are used to posting their own threads and some are used to posting in premade threads. It doesn't matter which one you prefer, just as long as you have fun.

WRITING YOUR CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY

I know writing the biography can be a pain sometimes, but it's neccessary, it becomes a pain to the staff when we can't figure out what borough a newsie is from, or what they are exactly. If they're a newsie, PLEASE put somewhere in their biography that they are in a specific borough. Or if they are something else, please put their job in their bio. And it is prefered if for history you at least try and write more than one paragraph. These should be well written, complete with history, personality, name, age, etc. Please no ripping off of other characters! Biographies are to now be sent to the admin account, and you MUST wait to post in face claim. No exceptions, we will check the admin account everyday for bios, so relax, we'll get to yours.

HAVE FUN![/blockquote]
